Florida Retired Educators Association is a 501(c)4 not-for-profit grassroots advocacy and volunteer organization with 10,000+ members. FREA is independent, non-partisan, and does not endorse political candidates.

We are asking units to support this literacy project locally, by selecting a school or schools in your own area and collecting books at each meeting or during a special event. Book plates are available from FREA to be placed in your books. Contact info@FREA.org to order. Collected books will be delivered to local school (s) at the convenience of your unit.

There is a place on the new UNIT Volunteer Services Report click here to download to indicate your chosen school(s) and # of books.
